Streisand and Jeffrey Katzenberg were no-shows at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser.....billed as co-hosts w/ Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams. Notables included Judd Apatow, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Reps. Howard Berman, Brad Sherman, Judy Chu and Laura Richardson. The price to be a co-host was $30,400 per couple, which included a photo with Obama — though POTUS said photo ops weren't the point of the evening. "I hope you understand why we're here tonight,'' said Obama. "It's not to take a picture with the president. We're here to make sure those who took the tough votes are rewarded."

maybe she couldn’t get there because Ozero clogged up traffic all over town when people were trying to get home for dinner.

Stuck in that 6 hour traffic jam that the rest of West L.A. had to endure?

Hillary Clinton’s $2.6 Million Hollywood Hit

Tuesday, March 27, 2007

Sen. Hillary Clinton hit Hollywood last night at the estate of grocery store mogul Ron Burkle and took home $2.6 million for her presidential campaign.

It was twice as much as Sen. Barack Obama raised last month at a similar fundraiser thrown by DreamWorks SKG’s David Geffen — a point that was made privately during the Clinton event by many of the fundraisers.

And while the Burkle event didn’t have the quantity of star power that the Geffen event had, it sure had the quality. Clinton was seated at the head table with Barbra Streisand and her husband, actor James Brolin; Yahoo chief executive Terry Semel, who once was the co-head of Warner Bros. with Robert Daly; and Daly, with wife, songwriter Carole Bayer Sager.

If you pay $50k, you can skip the photo.

LOL! If I did I’d be on my private yacht somewhere looking for off-shore depositories.

This is the good thing about the Hard Left/Right. Nothing is ever good enough for either of them. Thankfully most of the really Hard left supported Obama will turn on him due to this simple fact.

I think the reason Hollywood and Dem politicians have so much in common is that they both live self-decieving lives, where they pretend to do and feel things they really don't.

Heh——love it.
